This Master's course is intended for Graduates in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering. However, other degrees will also be taken into account provided that the student meets the following requirements:

Have a general knowledge on the different fields of chemistry and an adequate training in the use of laboratory equipment and instruments.

Professional Opportunities

The students of this Master's Degree will gain different competences depending on the study track they choose:

Students who have chosen an academic-research study track will acquire an advanced training in the field of organic and inorganic chemistry that will enable them to access the field of chemical research. This will position them in an optimal place to develop research activities which will lead them either to the preparation of a PhD Thesis or to their incorporation into the R&D and innovation departments of both private and public bodies.

Students who have chosen and academic-professional study track will be provided with an advanced training in the field of organic and inorganic chemistry due to the fact that they will have taken the Advanced Chemistry module. They will also be provided with a professional orientated training due to the fact that they will have taken the required optional subjects, which are professional-orientated and the internship that will give them access to jobs in chemical and pharmaceutical companies as highly qualified professionals.
